Behavioral & Emotional

Description of different impairments:

Some impairments that are very common are:
1. Attention Deficit hyper-activity (ADHD)- an overactive,
restless, and impulsive child who often becomes hostile
and fails to observe classroom limits.
2. Autism- A condition in which children are unable to
interact socially with others.

How does this impact the child:

1. ADHD impacts a child because they could forget things and
have disorganization. Low self-esteem, aggressiveness and
emotional immaturity can also impact the child.They also
cannot be still for a long period of time.
2. Autism impacts a childs development because children
with autism might seem more interested in environmental
sounds than in the sound of people talking. The child may
seem distracted or seem not to hear what people say.

Accommodating special needs:

1. Inclusion/mainstreaming- placing special needs children
in regular classrooms to allow them to learn in the least
restrictive environment.
2. (IDEA)-requires all states to provide education for
children who are delayed. Must have individual program.
3. (IEP)-plan for a childs disability containing assessment
information, goals, objectives, statement of involvement
etc...
